Sons of Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon indicted on bribery charges
JERUSALEM, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- A 10-year Israeli police investigation has resulted in a recommendation that a former prime minister's sons be indicted on bribery charges, officials said.
Police in Jerusalem said Omri and Gilad Sharon, the sons of Ariel Sharon, should be charged with mediating the transfers of $3 million in bribes to Sharon from Austrian billionaire businessman Martin Schlaff, the Jerusalem Post and Ynetnews.com reported Tuesday.
The government ordered Ariel Sharon to repay the amount he received during the 2001 campaign. After the order, Sharon received a $1.5 million loan from Cyril Kern, a South African businessman. Sharon's sons got $3 million for giving consulting services regarding the establishment of a farm in South Africa, the Post and Ynetnews reported.
Police said the money was sent to help Ariel Sharon pay off 2001 election campaign debts, the Post reported. Police said, however, there is insufficient evidence due to Schlaff's evading questioning during the investigation.
